Any sub for almond flour? My hubby is allergic to all nuts so I find it hard to replicate these delicious recipes. Cassava flour? Thanks!

Great question! I’ve never made these with another flour. In my experience however, oat flour substitutes well for almond flour so you could try that… let me know if you make them.

Can I use cornstarch instead of arrowroot?

Great question! I’ve never tried that and so much of baking is based on chemistry, so I can’t say for certain… when I googled arrowroot substitutes, it seems that if you were to use cornstarch you would need less of it, so I would try 1/3 cup… let me know if you try it.
